They Did an Incredible Job Getting my Client’s Deal Closed

I am a realtor with Samson Properties and I represented the buyer, so it was important for us to work with a lender that could get a deal closed in 30 days. The seller had already had a deal fall through due to financing.

Cornerstone First Financial understood this from the beginning and did everything to make sure my clients stayed on track to close the deal.

I would highly recommend this lender to any real estate agents and their clients! Mark Livingstone was the loan officer we worked with.

Thank you!

They Were Great at Guiding Us and Keeping Things on Track!

When you’ve got a VA loan, you want this to be the team that helps you navigate the quirks.

The team at Cornerstone First Financial was GREAT every step of the way in our closing process.

Mark and Emily sent us everything we needed in advance to help our closing process go smoothly. They’re extremely responsive and know their business and it helps that they are salt of the earth people who treat you like a person and not an account.

Closing on a home was stressful for us, as we did not know how/what to expect, but they were great at guiding us and keeping things on track.

Thank you!

His Godly Values and Professionalism Was A Welcomed Treat

I was definitely pleased with the service I received from Cornerstone First Financial.

Mark Livingston’s integrity was first and foremost impressive for me as I look for that specific quality in those who I do any business with. He was honest (even if it meant accepting another offer) and his follow through was impeccable.

His godly values and professionalism was a welcomed treat and I would certainly recommend this company to others.

Our New Loan Was Funded Within 28 Days

Working with Cornerstone First was fantastic! The process was very streamlined from beginning to end and we closed and had our new loan was funded within 28 days of my first phone call with them.

Doug, Emily, Sarah, and the rest of the team are an excellent group to work with.

Saving about $570 a month on our mortgage is pretty sweet as well!

Professional & Courteous

The guys at Cornerstone First are unbelievable! Professional, courteous and much to my liking extremely personable. Whenever large transactions are taking place, you should want to work with those who are relatable.

They Explained Everything, Everytime, With a Smile!

Wow!!! Let’s just say I have talked with banks on my own and I even looked into Quicken Loans. My husband and I are self-employed which makes it a bit more of a process. The bigger banks didn’t take any time to get to know me or to look at my financial situation all they wanted to do was run a credit report and see what it came back as.

Raul took the time to explain to me the paperwork that I would need but I didn’t have yet and let me get a hold of those documents before we started into the mortgage process so we would not be held up. Raul took the time to determine what would be the best mortgage product for me and my family and thoroughly explained all of my options.

I called Raul at least once a day for about three weeks and each time he answered me and answer my same questions over and over again and was glad to do it.

If you are looking for honest person to be straight up with you, this is where you should go for your mortgage needs. I was never blindsided with anything Raul prepared me for everything that I needed.

I’m so happy with my new home and all thanks goes to Raul Blake!!!

Sincerely,
Mariah W.

Fantastic Job On My Home Refinance

Doug Rice, and the Cornerstone First Financial team did a fantastic job with my recent home refinance, even though I was a dummy and started re-doing my kitchen right before the appraisal!

They stuck with me and were very patient while I worked things out with the appraiser, working with me to extend the loan closing date on very favorable terms.

Thank you very much!

Surprised and Pleased With The High Appraisal Value!

Hello Martine,

Thanks for responding. I’m doing quite well and hope you are too. You also are a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to refer you to anyone who’s interested in either acquiring a first mortgage or refinancing.

When I first talked with you, I got the feeling you were honest and up-front with what to expect. But why not, you are a Christian, and that’s why I selected Cornerstone First Financial.

I was quite pleased with the appraisal value, and wasn’t even aware that the value was that high, for which I thank the Lord. There isn’t anything more I’d want you to do about it. Thanks very much; and you take care. I’ll definitely keep you in mind for any future home financing needs.

You Made More Than Just A Financial Impact

Dear Kelly and Mr. Livingstone:

I had to write to thank you for your most generous offer and your persistence in assisting my family with the refinance. I wanted you to know that often we go everyday praying that we can touch someone, but sometimes never really realize the impact we made.

Recently, my 20-year old son was feeling frustrated and discouraged about the state of the world as it portrayed on the news, television programs and movies. He knows the truth and that God is in control, but he said that it is just hard not to look at all of that and not feel down and wonder where are all the good people doing good things in the world.

I reminded him who the prince of the power of air is and that it is his goal to “report” that we are lost and fallen beyond repair. After you called this evening, I told my whole family what you offered to do and they were all very grateful and blessed. My son said, you were right Mom, there still are people doing good things I guess you just have to really look for them. Sorry to ramble on, just wanted to know that you made more than just a financial impact.

May God bless you abundantly above and beyond what you ask, think or imagine.

Dear Jennifer,

Thank you so much for your recommendation to refinance and absolute ease with which you accomplished it. I had many questions; each promptly & Professionally addressed and resolved.

On top of all that CASH to fix up my house!

In less than 15 days!! In short, you were awesome both professionally and personally – no small feat in my eyes! I will highly recommend you and your company in the future.

Very Compassionate and Accessible!

Hi Jennifer,

Sorry this is overdue, but we wanted to thank you for the wonderful service and help you gave us with our refinancing. The route we had to take was unfortunate, but in a years time hopefully we can make it work more to our advantage!

You helped to make everything comfortable for us and understandable. You were a blessing to us throughout this whole process, you were always accessible and replied back in a quick manner too. Not to mention your fantastic personality and your compassion.

Well…You were not so accessible when you went to Israel, but Mark was great to work with too!! Hope you had a great time there!

Thanks again and we look forward to working with you next year with better rates and better credit scores!

A Real Kindred Spirit

Mark,

From the moment I talked with you, I felt a spiritual bond that was real. There was, and is a kindred spirit with us and I truly cherish that.

Words cannot express how grateful we are for what you (through God’s power) have done for us. One year ago, we thought we would be renting for years to come because of our credit history. Thanks to you, we own a home!

I believe God has placed you here for such a time as this, and he continues to use you in awesome ways.

God bless you. Angela says “Thanks” as well.
Talk to you soon!

I’m Paying Less Mortgage Than My Original Loan

Hello!!!!

God bless you. Thanks so much for checking in. I was just thinking about you this morning. Everything is fine. I am paying less mortgage than the original loan. It is locked in for two years and I really intend to have a better credit rating by the end of two years. I know all things work through God, but I can’t thank you and Cornerstone First enough. It is such a blessing and through this I have been able to bless others.

Thanks again,
Carolyn J. Williams

Outstanding Integrity!

Hello Mark,

I went to closing today on my FHA Streamline refinance. Joe Rogers was my loan officer and he handled my case with outstanding integrity and was very courteous at all times. As one who has had experience working with loan officers in the past, both as a private citizen and as a Realtor, I have learned to recognize quality. I am very impressed with Cornerstone First Financial and will be referring more clients to Joe. I also appreciate the fact that yours is a Christian-owned and operated business.

Sharon Powers

Always Optimistic!

Dear Elizabeth,

Well, better late than never I figured, so here comes the card I should have sent a month ago. So, I really want to say thank THANK YOU for all your assistance and perseverance with my mortgage. I know it was frustrating at times so I especially appreciate you always staying so sweet and optimistic.

It meant a lot & calmed me when I was panicking! I wish you all the best and hope our paths will cross again soon.

AND… WE LOVE THE HOUSE- THANK YOU!

Best,
Sarah

Mark Livingstone and His Team Provide Superior Customer Service!

Customer service is superior. Cornerstone First takes the time and offers genuine care when explaining your options.
